A massive wildfire burned Kootney's woodland in August 2003. Six years later, at the time when this shot was taken there are visible signs of new life and growth in the blackened area. Nearly 18,000 burned hectares slowly transforms itself into a productive environment providing habitat for animals. The Floe Creek symbolically divides the living from the dead. This photo was taken on the route to the Floe Lake in Kootney National Park, British Columbia, Canada
